Their round shape and 11/0 size make them perfect for creating bracelets, necklaces, or earrings, whether you’re stringing them or using them for bead embroidery.
Made in the Czech Republic, these seed beads are round and have a 0.9 mm hole, which makes it easy to thread them repeatedly.

Depending on the lighting, it displays shifting reflections ranging from pearlescent tones to metallic hues.
How do you use these seed beads?
They can be used to create bracelets, delicate necklaces, or earrings—simply strung on nylon thread or elastic cord. You can also intersperse them among larger beads to add a subtle sparkle, create small fringes, or arrange rows of colors. To take it a step further, bead weaving allows you to work with stitches like the peyote stitch or brick stitch to create more structured jewelry.
